Application filed March 7, 1928, Serial No. 259,725, and in Sweden March 8, 1927.

This invention relates to containers or boxes for graniophone needles and more especially to a device adapted to facilitate the picking up of needles ironi the container or box. I 7

The invention consists, chiefly, in the combination with a container or box having a lid hinged thereto, of a magnet supported by said lid and being rotatable in relation there- In the accompanying drawings we have shown one. embodiment of our invention. Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a needle box with a picking up magnet for the needles to this invention and Fig. 2 is a plan or" the inner side of the lid of with the magnet. Fig. 3 shows a sectiona View of a portion thereof on a larger scale.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of thedi'awing,

1 is the needle box or container having a cover or lid 2 which in usual manner is secured to the box by means of a hinge 3. To the inner side of the lid 2 axinagnet A} is secured. When the lid is made of a paramagnetic material, the magnet is, preferably, to some extent magnetically insulated from the lid, for

instance b T means of a sheet of ea or or aste-' board 5 or the like.

The magnet t has, preferably, the form of a horse-shoe magnet, as shown in the drawing in which case both poles 6 are bent at about right angles to the main part of the magnet and are used to pick up needles from the box, or it may have the shape of an anguiar bar one pole of: which only is used to ick up the needles. I

The magnet t is journalled in such manner that it can turn freely to some extent in re- 1 lation to the lid or cover 2. for such purpose not lid 2 but is journalled in a hinge 9 formed by a metallic strip 11 which is secured between lid and its bent portion The magnet is is easily movable in its hinge 9 so that it is turned out froin the lid 2 by its own weight furthermore, the needles when closing the inclined position so said box needles, a lid hinged 1 needles, a lid hinged secured directly to the when-being in proper position but the move ment is limited the edges 15 on the hinge Fig. 5. By this arrangement 9 as shown in the needles picked up by the magnet are held in a proper position when the lid 2 is opened to a position as shown by dotted lines in Fig, 1 at right angles are accessible by the magnet even it the lid is not fully closed when needles are to be picked up.- When only to the box and,

a few needles are contained in the box'it may happen that they are which they are notliit by the 'magnet poles I lid. In such case it is sui. ficient to shake thebox-or to hold it 111,111 that the needles" are moved into contact with the magnet poles. What we claim is:

1. in combination, needles, a lid hinged to said box, a magnet supported by said lid and having portions bent about at right lid, anda inagnetic'insulation between the magnet and the lid. I

2. In combination, a box for gramophoiie tosaid box, netsupported by the lid and beingi'otatable in relation thereto.

3. In'combination,

to said box, a hinge lying in a position in 1 a box for gi'ainophone anda inagangles to the plan of the v cured to saidlid, a magnet rotatabiy support f ed by said hinge and adapted to pick up a needle from the box and lift it to a free position when the lid is opened.
